Hi, I would want applications like Dreamweaver UltraDev and to a lesser extent PhotoShop before I could comfortably abandon Windows. Someone ought bring pressure to bare on Macromedia and thier ilk. Another issue would be that of plug n play. If LINUX could have that and take the headache of driver configuration it would be a real dream come true. I still have not managed to install Mandrake 8 yet on account of NIC detection/installation. It's an old ISA 3COM 10 MB ethernet ( none combo ) that is easily picked up in windoz. I am very new to LINUX.

As far as I know, for most users, there is no use aside from gaming, and even for gaming, there are native Linux games, and apparently quite a few Windows games run under Wine. The other exception is that there are quite a few applications that can ONLY run on Windows for some specific purposes. Perhaps you need Autocad, or some other specific app which is Windows only. But if you're just an ordinary user who surfs the web, does word processing, this kind of thing, you don't need Windows at all.
